Chapter 162 [0160] The Foundation and an Old Acquaintance

Because there was still work to do, even though Caitlin cared about the results, she didn't get to hear the speech in person.

Fortunately, according to her mother who had heard the speech, the speech was very successful - even when hearing about the workers' miserable situation, Councillor Philos shed tears of sympathy.

This news greatly encouraged Caitlin. This was the first time she clearly felt that her work had paid off.

Although this matter relied on the power of the family... it was also worth celebrating!

However, when the Piltover Daily News came out the next day, Caitlin found that the solution to the whole incident seemed completely different from what she had imagined.

There was no minimum wage limit.

There was no work injury safety insurance.

There was no improvement in the working environment.

Instead, there was a "Workers Charity Foundation" that was "dedicated to improving the working environment of Piltover workers."

This news made Caitlin frown subconsciously.

This charity foundation... the civilians of Piltover might regard it as an organization with good intentions, but Caitlin knew its nature very well.

Let's put it this way, nine out of ten of the disgusting balls that Caitlin has attended were titled "charity balls."

But every time, only Caitlin herself really donated real money.

As for other participants, some of them auctioned off artworks, while others sold some souvenirs - in theory, the funds raised would be used for charity, but after deducting the "operating costs" of the foundation, how much money would actually be used where it should be used...

Anyway, since she looked at the accounts, Caitlin never donated money again.

What's more ironic is that because the auction prices of artworks are recorded, such parties often play the role of raising the value of artists.

In short, a charity ball has everything except charity.

So, when Caitlin was writing her speech, she didn't mention charity at all. She hoped to solve the problem through more effective means!

Confused, Caitlin found her mother at night and asked her about the content of the speech at that time - the result was naturally the same as her speech.

So, the parliament was unwilling to issue regulations, but chose to use this method?

Caitlin blinked her eyes, a little depressed.

However, she quickly cheered up.

Even if the operating and management costs of this workers' charity foundation are high, at least it can have a certain effect!

Even if the matter is not resolved satisfactorily, there is progress!

Even if only three of the ten gold hexes are used for the workers... at least it is a good result!

Thinking of this, Caitlin's mood finally improved a lot.

……………………

The next day, according to the time agreed with Wei before, Caitlin discussed the scope of the interview about the list of licensed journalists in Zaun and Piltover in the elevator.

Wei, who has always been dissatisfied with Piltover people, insisted on registering all journalists and reviewing the journalists' manuscripts.

"This is to prevent you from smearing at will!" Facing Caitlin, Wei was full of confidence, "You Piltover reporters hear rumors and always want to make a big news for the sake of newspaper sales. We must retain the right to review the interview manuscripts!"

For Wei's request, Caitlin really couldn't find any angle to refute.

The Piltover reporter was caught making up stories before, which was too embarrassing, so Caitlin was a little less confident when she spoke.

However, fortunately, her previous hard work was not in vain - she slapped today's Piltover Daily in front of Wei.

"Then the Zaun reporters should also be honest and not think about running around in Piltover and causing trouble for Piltover!" Caitlin said proudly, "We can solve Piltover's own problems ourselves!"

We took a look at the headline of the newspaper "Workers Charity Foundation Established, Piltover Workers' Life Better", was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at?"

"You Piltover people... Piltover people, you are really professional at fooling people!"

"?"

"Our reporter Yorfo V. Cardoras reports to you. Isn't this the bastard who made up the gossip about Ms. Renata?" Vi's disdain was beyond words. "What was his previous newspaper... Piltover Culture Weekly? Now he has gone to Piltover Daily?"

Caitlyn was stunned.

Because she was too concerned about the follow-up development of this matter, Caitlyn focused on the issue of the charity foundation and did not pay attention to the reporter's question.

So, when Wei directly pointed out that this reporter was the guy who made up the gossip about Renata, Caitlyn was completely stunned.

"A guy who was caught making up fake news can still get promoted, jumping from a tabloid to Piltover Daily...tsk tsk tsk." Vi, who caught the opportunity, obviously would not give up any opportunity to mock Piltover people, "I suddenly feel that just reviewing the news release is not enough. Maybe we can change the way and interview ourselves. How about exchanging interview manuscripts?"

Caitlyn said nothing.

Her face was red and she was fidgeting.

In the end, Caitlin and Wei didn't reach any consensus - Wei was satisfied and in high spirits after walking out of the elevator, while Caitlin seemed to have been drained of all her energy and spirit, and was extremely depressed.

After finally waiting until the end of today's experiment, Caitlin patiently waited for everyone to register and leave, and then fled from the laboratory.

She had a lot of questions.

……………………

Back at the Giraman family's manor, she saw three guests she never expected.

Jace.

Mel.

And... Yorfo V. Cardoras.

Caitlin greeted Jace and Mel in astonishment, then narrowed her eyes and looked at Yorfo, who was smiling.

"Why are you here?" Caitlin gritted her teeth and said, "Who invited you?"

"It's me." Jace blinked and took the initiative to come to Caitlin's side, "I heard from Yorfo that there were some misunderstandings between you..."

"This is not a misunderstanding." Caitlin shook her head, "At the beginning of the joint cooperation, this guy went to Zaun for an interview, but he made up gossip and was caught by the Zaun people."

Jace seemed to have heard of this for the first time. He turned to look at Yorfo with some surprise, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"That's not what you told me." Jayce soon became serious. "Interviews are not welcome, and gossip is not welcome. These are two different things."

"Mr. Talis, I promise, this is indeed a misunderstanding." Yorfo spread his hands and put on a helpless look. "You know my past reports - I am not a person who likes to make fake news to make money. Otherwise, when Hextech was just born and Zaun exploded, everyone was full of distrust of it, I would not have conducted three consecutive interviews with you..."

Karliya's Little Classroom·Jayce's Interview:

After the Zaun explosion, Yorfo did organize three interviews with Jayce and Hextech - these three interviews provided Jayce with a lot of reputation, and to a certain extent eliminated the discordant voices brought about by his relationship with Mel.

There will be extra updates tonight.
